Very good website you have here but I was curious if you knew of any user discussion forums that
cover the same topics discussed here? I’d really
like to be a part of group where I can get opinions from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest.

If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Many thanks!

Hi! Nancy, and thank you for being such a great instructor of sewing!!! I am lost as to where you place that insert. Is there any video available? I would sure appreciate it! Thanks and [email protected]

Great idea for a pillow. I did something similar last Christmas. I made a T-shirt pillowcase for my grandson. I used a shirt with his favorite band, cut off the sleeves and stitched the armholes closed, then I used one of the sleeves to enclose the neck area. It looks really cute to prop the pillow vertically on the bed.

Thanks for this idea. My husband died in June and I am left with many wonderful wildlife motif shirts that are in excellent condition. Now I know what I can do with them.

I’ve seen the Lumberjack Pillow before and wondered how to make it. Thanks for the excellent directions and pictures! This would be a thoughtful gift of remembrance to make for someone who’s lost a family member. If I still had any of my father’s shirts, I’d make this as another way to remember him.

I’ve seen the Lumberjack Pillow and have wondered ever since regarding the “how-to”, thank you for the great instructions and pictures! This would be a good project to be a remembrance of someone who’s died, using one of their shirts.

I got a little “lost” with the instructions when the contrasting insert was put into the shirt. Is there a video tutorial for this project?? It would help. Cute pillow idea, though. Thanks.
